INTRODUCTION

There are a lot of investment avenues available today in the financial market for an investor with an

investable surplus. He can invest in Bank Deposits, Corporate Debentures, and Bonds where there is

low risk but low return. He may invest in Stock of companies where the risk is high and the returns

are also proportionately high. The recent trends in the Stock Market have shown that an average retail

investor always lost with periodic bearish tends. People began opting for portfolio managers with

expertise in stock markets who would invest on their behalf. Thus we had wealth management

services provided by many institutions. However they proved too costly for a small investor. These

investors have found a good shelter with the mutual funds.

Mutual fund industry has seen a lot of changes in past few years with multinational companies coming

into the country, bringing in their professional expertise in managing funds worldwide. In the past few

months there has been a consolidation phase going on in the mutual fund industry in India. Nowinvestors have a wide range of Schemes to choose from depending on their individual profiles.

My study gives an overview of mutual funds definition, types, benefits, risks, limitations, history of

mutual funds in India, latest trends, global scenarios. I have analyzed a few prominent mutual funds

schemes and have given my findings.

NEED FOR THE STUDY

The main purpose of doing this project was to know about mutual fund and its functioning. This helps

to know in details about mutual fund industry right from its inception stage, growth and future

prospects.

It also helps in understanding different schemes of mutual funds. Because my study depends upon

prominent funds in India and their schemes like equity, income, balance as well as the returns

associated with those schemes.

INDUSTRY PROFILE

BOMBAY STOCK EXCHANGES:

This stock exchange, Mumbai, popularly known as BSE was established in 1875 as The Native share

and stock brokers association, as a voluntary non- profit making association. It has an evolved over

the years into its present status as the premiere stock exchange in the country. It may be noted that

the stock exchanges the oldest one in Asia, even older than the Tokyo Stock Exchange, which was

founded in 1878.

The exchange, while providing an efficient and transparent market for trading in securities, upholds

the interests of the investors and ensures redressed of their grievances, whether against the

companies or its own member brokers. It also strives to educate and enlighten the investors by

making available necessary informative inputs and conducting investor education programmes.

A governing board comprising of 9 elected directors, 2 SEBI nominees, 7 public representatives and an

executive director is the apex body, which decides the policies and regulates the affairs of the

exchange.

The Executive director as the chief executive officer is responsible for the day today administration of

the exchange. The average daily turnover of the exchange during the year 2000-01(April-March) was

Rs 3984.19 crores and average number of daily trades 5.69 Lakhs.

However the average daily turn over of the exchange during the year 2001-02 has declined to Rs.

1244.10 crores and number of average daily trades during the period to 5.17 Lakhs.


4/23

The average daily turn over of the exchange during the year 2002-03 has declined and number of

average daily trades during the period is also decreased.

The Ban on all deferral products like BLESS AND ALBM in the Indian capital markets by SEBI with

effect from July 2,2001, abolition of account period settlements, introduction of compulsory rolling

settlements in all scripts traded on the exchanges with effect from Dec 31,2001, etc., have adversely

impacted the liquidity and consequently there is a considerable decline in the daily turn over at the

exchange. The average daily turn over of the exchange present scenario is 110363(laces) and number

of average daily trades 1057(laces).

BSE INDICES:

In order to enable the market participants, analysts etc., to track the various ups and downs in the

Indian stock market, the Exchange has introduced in 1986 an equity stock index called BSE-SENSEX

that subsequently became the barometer of the moments of the share prices in the Indian Stock

market. It is a Market capitalization weighted index of 30 component stocks representing a sample

of large, well-established and leading companies. The base year of Sensex is 1978-79. The Sensex is

widely reported in both domestic and international markets through print as well as electronic media.

Sensex is calculated using a market capitalization weighted method. As per this methodology, the

level of the index reflects the total market value of all 30-component stocks from different industries

related to particular base period. The total market value of a company is determined by multiplying

the price of its stock by the number of shares outstanding. Statisticians call an index of a set of

combined variables (such as price and number of shares) a composite Index. An Indexed number is

used to represent the results of this calculation in order to make the value easier to work with and

track over a time. It is much easier to graph a chart based on Indexed values than one based on

actual values world over majority of the well-known Indices are constructed using Market

capitalization weighted method.

In practice, the daily calculation of SENSEX is done by dividing the aggregate market value of the 30

companies in the Index by a number called the Index Divisor. The Divisor is the only link to the

original base period value of the SENSEX. The Divisor keeps the Index comparable over a period or

time and if the reference point for the entire Index maintenance adjustments. SENSEX is widely used

to describe the mood in the Indian Stock markets. Base year average is changed as per the formula

new base year average = old base year average*(new market value/old market value).

NATIONAL STOCK EXCHANGE:

The NSE was incorporated in Now 1992 with an equity capital of Rs 25 crores. The International

securities consultancy (ISC) of Hong Kong has helped in setting up NSE. ISE has prepared the detailed

business plans and installation of hardware and software systems. The promotions for NSE were

financial institutions, insurances companies, banks and SEBI capital market ltd, Infrastructure leasing

and financial services ltd and stock holding corporation ltd.

It has been set up to strengthen the move towards professionalisation of the capital market as well as

provide nation wide securities trading facilities to investors.NSE is not an exchange in the traditional

sense where brokers own and manage the exchange. A two tier administrative set up involving a

company board and a governing aboard of the exchange is envisaged.

NSE is a national market for shares PSU bonds, debentures and government securities since

infrastructure and trading facilities are provided.

NSE-NIFTY:

The NSE on April 22, 1996 launched a new equity Index. The NSE-50. The new index, which replaces

the existing NSE-100 index, is expected to serve as an appropriate Index for the new segment of

futures and options.

Nifty means National Index for Fifty Stocks.

The NSE-50 comprises 50 companies that represent 20 broad Industry groups with an aggregate

market capitalization of around Rs. 1,70,000 crs. All companies included in the Index have a market

capitalization in excess of Rs 500 crs each and should have traded for 85% of trading days at an

impact cost of less than 1.5%.

The base period for the index is the close of prices on Nov 3, 1995, which makes one year of

completion of operation of NSEs capital market segment. The base value of the Index has been set at

1000.

NSE-MIDCAP INDEX:

The NSE madcap Index or the Junior Nifty comprises 50 stocks that represents 21 aboard Industry

groups and will provide proper representation of the madcap segment of the Indian capital Market. All

stocks in the index should have market capitalization of greater than Rs.200 crores and should have

traded 85% of the trading days at an impact cost of less 2.5%.

The base period for the index is Nov 4, 1996, which signifies two years for completion of operations of


6/23

the capital market segment of the operations. The base value of the Index has been set at 1000.

Average daily turn over of the present scenario 258212 (Laces) and number of averages daily trades

2160(Laces).

At present, there are 24 stock exchanges recognized under the securities contract (regulation) Act,

1956. They are

THE HYDERABAD STOCK EXCHANGE LIMITED

ORIGIN:

Rapid growth in industries in the erstwhile Hyderabad State saw efforts at starting the Stock

Exchange. In November, 1941 some leading bankers and brokers formed the share and stock Brokers

Association. In 1942, Mr. Gulab Mohammed, the Finance Minister formed a Committee for the purpose

of constituting Rules and Regulations of the Stock Exchange. Sri Purushothamdas Thakurdas,

President and Founder Member of the Hyderabad Stock Exchange performed the opening ceremony of

the Exchange on 14.11.1943 under Hyderabad Companies Act, Mr. Kamal Yar Jung Bahadur was the

first President of the Exchange. The HSE started functioning under Hyderabad Securities Contract Act

of No. 21 of 1352 under H.E.H. Nizams Government as a Company Limited by guarantee. It was the

6th Stock Exchange recognized under Securities Contract Act, after the Premier Stock Exchanges,

Ahmedabad, Bombay, Calcutta, Madras and Bangalore stock Exchange. All deliveries were completed

every Monday or the next working day.

The Securities Contracts (Regulation) Act 1956 was enacted by the Parliament, passed into Law and

the rules were also framed in 1957. The Government of India brought the Act and the Rules into force

from 20th February 1957.

The HSE was first recognized by the Government of India on 29th September 1958, as Securities

Regulation Act was made applicable to twin cities of Hyderabad and Secunderabad from that date. In

view of substantial growth in trading activities, and for the yeoman services rendered by the

Exchange, the Exchange was bestowed with permanent recognition with effect from 29th September

1983.

The Exchange has a significant share in achievements of erstwhile State of Andhra Pradesh to its

present state in the matter of Industrial development.

OBJECTIVES:

The Exchange was established on 18th October 1943 with the main objective to create, protect and

develop a healthy Capital Market in the State of Andhra Pradesh to effectively serve the Public and

Investors interests.

The property, capital and income of the Exchange, as per the Memorandum and Articles of Association

of the Exchange, shall have to be applied solely towards the promotion of the objects of the Exchange.

Even in case of dissolution, the surplus funds shall have to be devoted to any activity having the same


8/23

objects, as Exchange or be distributed in Charity, as may be determined by the Exchange or the High

Court of judicature. Thus, in short, it is a Charitable Institution.

The Hyderabad Stock Exchange Limited is now on its stride of completing its 65th year in the history

of Capital Markets serving the cause of saving and investments. The Exchange has made its

beginning in 1943 and today occupies a prominent place among the Regional Stock Exchanges in

India. The Hyderabad Stock Exchange has been promoting the mobilization of funds into the Industrial

sector for development of industrialization in the State of Andhra Pradesh.

GROWTH:

The Hyderabad Stock Exchange Ltd., established in 1943 as a Non-profit making organization,

catering to the needs of investing population started its operations in a small way in a rented building

in Koti area. It had shifted into Aiyangar Plaza, Bank Street in 1987. In September 1989, the then

Vice-President of India, Honble Dr. Shankar Dayal Sharma had inaugurated the own building of the

Stock exchange at Himayathnagar, Hyderabad. Later in order to bring all the trading members under

one roof, the exchange acquired still a larger premises situated 6-3-654/A; Somajiguda, Hyderabad -

82, with a six storied building and a constructed area of about 4,86,842 sft (including cellar of 70,857

sft). Considerably, there has been a tremendous perceptible growth which could be observed from the

statistics.

The number of members of the Exchange was 55 in 1943, 117 in 1993 and increased to 300 with 869

listed companies having paid up capital of Rs.19128.95 crores as on 31/03/2000. The business

turnover has also substantially increased to Rs. 1236.51 crores in 1999-2000. The Exchange has got a

very smooth settlement system.

COMPUTERIZATION:

The Stock Exchange business operations are equipped with modern communication systems. Online

computerization for simultaneously carrying out the trading transactions, monitoring functions have

been introduced at this Exchange since 1988 and the Settlement and Delivery System has become

simple and easy to the Exchange members.

The HSE On-line Securities Trading System was built around the most sophisticated state of the art

computers, communication systems, and the proven VECTOR Software from CMC and was one of the

most powerful SBT Systems in the country, operating in a WAN environment, connected through 9.6

KBPS 2 wire Leased Lines from the offices of the members to the office of the Stock Exchange at

Somajiguda, where the Central System CHALLENGE-L DESK SIDE SERVER made of Silicon Graphics

(SGI Model No. D-95602-S2) was located and connected all the members who were provided with

COMPAQ DESKPRO 2000/DESKTOP 5120 Computers connected through MOTOROLA 3265 v. 34

MANAGEABLE STAND ALONE MODEMS (28.8 kbps) for carrying out business from computer terminals

located in the offices of the members. The HOST System enabled the Exchange to expand its

operations later to other prime trading centers outside the twin cities of Hyderabad and

Secunderabad.

CLEARING HOUSE:

The Exchange set-up a Clearing House to collect the Securities from all the Members and distribute to

each member, all the securities due in respect of every settlement. The whole of the operations of the

Clearing House were also computerized. At present through DP all the settlement obligations are met.

INTER CONNECTED MARKET SYSTEM (ICMS):

The HSE was the convener of a Committee constituted by the Federation of Indian Stock Exchanges


10/23

for implementing an Inter-connected Market System(ICMS) in which the Screen Based Trading

systems of various Stock Exchanges was inter-connected to create a large National Market. SEBI

welcomed the creation of ICMS.

The HOST provided the network for HSE to hook itself into the ISE. The ISE provided the members of

HSE and their investors, access to a large national network of Stock Exchanges.

The Inter-connected Stock Exchange is a National Exchange and all HSE Members could have trading

terminals with access to the National Market without any fee, which was a boon to the Members of an

Exchange/Exchanges to have the trading rights on National Exchange (ISE), without any fee or

expenditure.

ON-LINE SURVEILLANCE:

HSE pays special attention to Market Surveillance and monitoring exposures of the members,

particularly the mark to market losses. By taking prompt steps to collect the margins for mark to

market losses, the risk of default by members is avoided. It is heartening that there have been no

defaults by members in any settlement since the introduction of Screen Based Trading.

IMPROVEMENT IN THE VOLUMES:

It is heartening that after implementing HOST, HSE's daily turnover has fairly stabilized at a level of

Rs. 20.00 crores. this should enable in improving our ranking among Indian Stock Exchanges for 14th

position to 6th position. We shall continuously strive to improve upon this to ensure a premier position

for our Exchange and its members and to render excellent services to investors in this region.

SETTLEMENT GUARANTEE FUND:

The Exchange has introduced Trade Guarantee Fund on 25/01/2000. This will insulate the trading

member from the counter-party risks while trading with another member. In other words, the trading

member and his investors will be assured of the timely completion of the pay-out of funds and

securities notwithstanding the default, if any, of any trading member of the Exchange. The shortfalls,

if any, arising from the default of any member will be met out of the Trade Guarantee Fund. Several

pay-ins worth of crores of rupees in all the settlements have been successfully completed after the

introduction of Trade Guarantee Fund, without utilizing any amount from the Trade Guarantee Fund.

The Trade Guarantee Fund will be a major step in re-building this confidence of the members and the

investors in HSE. HSE's Trade Guarantee Fund has a corpus of Rs. 2.00 crores initially which will later


11/23

be raised to Rs. 5.00 crores. At present Rs. 3.20 Crores is stood in the credit of SGF.

The Trade Guarantee Fund had strict rules and regulations to be complied with by the members to

avail the guarantee facility. The HOST system facilitated monitoring the compliance of members in

respect of such rules and regulations.

CURRENT DIVERSIFICATIONS:

A) DEPOSITORY PARTICIPANT:

The Exchange has also become a Depository Participant with National Securities Depository Limited

(NSDL) and Central Depository Services Limited (CDSL). Our own DP is fully operational and the

execution time will come down substantially. The depository functions are undertaken by the

Exchange by opening the accounts at Hyderabad of investors, members of the Exchange and other

Exchanges. The trades of all the Exchanges having On-line trading which get into National depository

can also be settled at Hyderabad by this exchange itself. In short all the trades of all the investors and

members of any Exchange at Hyderabad in dematerialized securities can be settled by the Exchange

itself as a participant of NSDL and CDSL. The exchange has about 15,000 B.O. accounts.

B) FLOATING OF A SUBSIDIARY COMPANY FOR THE MEMBERSHIP OF MAJOR STOCK EXCHANGES OF

the COUNTRY:

The Exchange had floated a Subsidiary Company in the name and style of M/s HSE Securities Limited

for obtaining the Membership of NSE and BSE. The Subsidiary had obtained membership of both NSE

and BSE. About 113 Sub-brokers may registered with HSES, of which about 75 sub-brokers are active.

Turnover details are furnished here under.

History of mutual funds

The mutual fund industry in India started in 1963 with the formation of Unit Trust of India, at the

initiative of the Government of India and Reserve Bank the. The history of mutual funds in India can

be broadly divided into four distinct phases.

First Phase 1964-87: Unit Trust of India (UTI) was established on 1963 by an Act of Parliament. It

was set up by the Reserve Bank of India and functioned under the Regulatory and administrative

control of the Reserve Bank of India. In 1978 UTI was de-linked from the RBI and the Industrial

Development Bank of India (IDBI) took over the regulatory and administrative control in place of RBI.

The first scheme launched by UTI was Unit Scheme 1964. At the end of 1988 UTI had Rs.6,700 crores

of assets under management.


12/23

Second Phase 1987-1993 (Entry of Public Sector Funds): 1987 marked the entry of non- UTI, public

sector mutual funds set up by public sector banks and Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC) and

General Insurance Corporation of India (GIC). SBI Mutual Fund was the first non- UTI Mutual Fund

established in June 1987 followed by Canbank Mutual Fund (Dec 87), Punjab National Bank Mutual

Fund (Aug 89), Indian Bank Mutual Fund (Nov 89), Bank of India (Jun 90), Bank of Baroda Mutual

Fund (Oct 92). LIC established its mutual fund in June 1989 while GIC had set up its mutual fund in

December 1990.

At the end of 1993, the mutual fund industry had assets under management of Rs.47,004 crores.

Third Phase 1993-2003 (Entry of Private Sector Funds): With the entry of private sector funds in

1993, a new era started in the Indian mutual fund industry, giving the Indian investors a wider choice

of fund families. Also, 1993 was the year in which the first Mutual Fund Regulations came into being,

under which all mutual funds, except UTI were to be registered and governed. The erstwhile Kothari

Pioneer (now merged with Franklin Templeton) was the first private sector mutual fund registered in

July 1993.

The 1993 SEBI (Mutual Fund) Regulations were substituted by a more comprehensive and revised

Mutual Fund Regulations in 1996. The industry now functions under the SEBI (Mutual Fund)

Regulations 1996.

The number of mutual fund houses went on increasing, with many foreign mutual funds setting up

funds in India and also the industry has witnessed several mergers and acquisitions. As at the end of

January 2003, there were 33 mutual funds with total assets of Rs. 1,21,805 crores. The Unit Trust of

India with Rs.44,541 crores of assets under management was way ahead of other mutual funds.

Fourth Phase since February 2003: In February 2003, following the repeal of the Unit Trust of India

Act 1963 UTI was bifurcated into two separate entities. One is the Specified Undertaking of the Unit

Trust of India with assets under management of Rs.29,835 crores as at the end of January 2003,

representing broadly, the assets of US 64 scheme, assured return and certain other schemes. The

Specified Undertaking of Unit Trust of India, functioning under an administrator and under the rules

framed by Government of India and does not come under the purview of the Mutual Fund Regulations.

The second is the UTI Mutual Fund Ltd, sponsored by SBI, PNB, BOB and LIC. It is registered with

SEBI and functions under the Mutual Fund Regulations. With the bifurcation of the erstwhile UTI which

had in March 2000 more than Rs.76,000 crores of assets under management and with the setting up

of a UTI Mutual Fund, conforming to the SEBI Mutual Fund Regulations, and with recent mergers


13/23

taking place among different private sector funds, the mutual fund industry has entered its current

phase of consolidation and growth. As at the end of September, 2004, there were 29 funds, which

manage assets of Rs.153108 crores under 421 schemes.

ADVANTAGES OF MUTUAL FUNDS

There are numerous benefits of investing in mutual funds and one of the key reasons for its

phenomenal success in the developed markets like US and UK is the range of benefits they offer,

which are unmatched by most other investment avenues. We have explained the key benefits in this

section. The benefits have been broadly split into universal benefits, applicable to all schemes, and

benefits applicable specifically to open-ended schemes. Universal Benefits

Affordability: A mutual fund invests in a portfolio of assets, i.e. bonds, shares, etc. depending upon

the investment objective of the scheme. An investor can buy in to a portfolio of equities, which would

otherwise be extremely expensive. Each unit holder thus gets an exposure to such portfolios with an

investment as modest as Rs.500/-. This amount today would get you less than quarter of an Infosys

share! Thus it would be affordable for an investor to build a portfolio of investments through a mutual

fund rather than investing directly in the stock market. Diversification The nuclear weapon in your

arsenal for your fight against Risk. It simply means that you must spread your investment across

different securities (stocks, bonds, money market instruments, real estate, fixed deposits etc.) and

different sectors (auto, textile, information technology etc.). This kind of a diversification may add to

the stability of your returns, for example during one period of time equities might under perform but

bonds and money market instruments might do well enough to offset the effect of a slump in the

equity markets. Similarly the information technology sector might be faring poorly but the auto and

textile sectors might do well and may protect your principal investment as well as help you meet your

return objectives. Variety Mutual funds offer a tremendous variety of schemes. This variety is

beneficial in two ways: first, it offers different types of schemes to investors with different needs and

risk appetites; secondly, it offers an opportunity to an investor to invest sums across a variety of

schemes, both debt and equity. For example, an investor can invest his money in a Growth Fund

(equity scheme) and Income Fund (debt scheme) depending on his risk appetite and thus create a

balanced portfolio easily or simply just buy a Balanced Scheme.

Professional Management: Qualified investment professionals who seek to maximize returns and

minimize risk monitor investor's money. When you buy in to a mutual fund, you are handing your


14/23

money to an investment professional who has experience in making investment decisions. It is the

Fund Manager's job to (a) find the best securities for the fund, given the fund's stated investment

objectives; and (b) keep track of investments and changes in market conditions and adjust the mix of

the portfolio, as and when required.

Tax Benefits: Any income distributed after March 31, 2002 will be subject to tax in the assessment of

all Unit holders. However, as a measure of concession to Unit holders of open-ended equity-oriented

funds, income distributions for the year ending March 31, 2003, will be taxed at a concessional rate of

10.5%.

In case of Individuals and Hindu Undivided Families a deduction upto Rs. 9,000 from the Total Income

will be admissible in respect of income from investments specified in Section 80L, including income

from Units of the Mutual Fund. Units of the schemes are not subject to Wealth-Tax and Gift-Tax.

Regulations: Securities Exchange Board of India (SEBI), the mutual funds regulator has clearly

defined rules, which govern mutual funds. These rules relate to the formation, administration and

management of mutual funds and also prescribe disclosure and accounting requirements. Such a high

level of regulation seeks to protect the interest of investors

Benefits of Open-ended Schemes:

Liquidity: In open-ended mutual funds, you can redeem all or part of your units any time you wish.

Some schemes do have a lock-in period where an investor cannot return the units until the completion

of such a lock-in period.

Convenience: An investor can purchase or sell fund units directly from a fund, through a broker or a

financial planner. The investor may opt for a Systematic Investment Plan (SIP) or a Systematic

Withdrawal Advantage Plan (SWAP). In addition to this an investor receives account statements and

portfolios of the schemes.

Flexibility: Mutual Funds offering multiple schemes allow investors to switch easily between various

schemes. This flexibility gives the investor a convenient way to change the mix of his portfolio over

time.

Transparency: Open-ended mutual funds disclose their Net Asset Value (NAV) daily and the entire

portfolio monthly. This level of transparency, where the investor himself sees the underlying assets

bought with his money, is unmatched by any other financial instrument. Thus the investor is in the

know of the quality of the portfolio and can invest further or redeem depending on the kind of the

portfolio that has been constructed by the investment manager.

RISK FACTORS OF MUTUAL FUNDS

The Risk-Return Trade-off:

The most important relationship to understand is the risk-return trade-off. Higher the risk greater the

returns/loss and lower the risk lesser the returns/loss.

Hence it is upto you, the investor to decide how much risk you are willing to take. In order to do this

you must first be aware of the different types of risks involved with your investment decision.

Market Risk: Sometimes prices and yields of all securities rise and fall. Broad outside influences

affecting the market in general lead to this. This is true, may it be big corporations or smaller mid-

sized companies. This is known as Market Risk. A Systematic Investment Plan (SIP) that works on

the concept of Rupee Cost Averaging (RCA) might help mitigate this risk.

Credit Risk: The debt servicing ability (may it be interest payments or repayment of principal) of a

company through its cashflows determines the Credit Risk faced by you. This credit risk is measured

by independent rating agencies like CRISIL who rate companies and their paper. A AAA rating is

considered the safest whereas a D rating is considered poor credit quality. A well-diversified portfolio

might help mitigate this risk.

Inflation Risk: Things you hear people talk about:

"Rs. 100 today is worth more than Rs. 100 tomorrow."

"Remember the time when a bus ride costed 50 paise?"

"Mehangai Ka Jamana Hai."

The root cause, Inflation. Inflation is the loss of purchasing power over time. A lot of times people

make conservative investment decisions to protect their capital but end up with a sum of money that

can buy less than what the principal could at the time of the investment. This happens when inflation

grows faster than the return on your investment. A well-diversified portfolio with some investment in

equities might help mitigate this risk.

Interest Rate Risk: In a free market economy interest rates are difficult if not impossible to predict.

Changes in interest rates affect the prices of bonds as well as equities. If interest rates rise the prices

of bonds fall and vice versa. Equity might be negatively affected as well in a rising interest rate


16/23

environment. A well-diversified portfolio might help mitigate this risk.

Political/Government Policy Risk: Changes in government policy and political decision can change the

investment environment. They can create a favorable environment for investment or vice versa.

Liquidity Risk: Liquidity risk arises when it becomes difficult to sell the securities that one has

purchased. Liquidity Risk can be partly mitigated by diversification, staggering of maturities as well as

internal risk controls that lean towards purchase of liquid securities.

Various investment options in Mutual Funds offer

To cater to different investment needs, Mutual Funds offer various investment options. Some of the

important investment options include:

Growth Option:

Dividend is not paid-out under a Growth Option and the investor realises only the capital appreciation

on the investment (by an increase in NAV).

Dividend Payout Option:

Dividends are paid-out to investors under the Dividend Payout Option. However, the NAV of the

mutual fund scheme falls to the extent of the dividend payout.

Dividend Re-investment Option:

Here the dividend accrued on mutual funds is automatically re-invested in purchasing additional units

in open-ended funds. In most cases mutual funds offer the investor an option of collecting dividends

or re-investing the same.

Retirement Pension Option:

Some schemes are linked with retirement pension. Individuals participate in these options for

themselves, and corporates participate for their employees.

Insurance Option:

Certain Mutual Funds offer schemes that provide insurance cover to investors as an added benefit.

Systematic Investment Plan (SIP):


17/23

Here the investor is given the option of preparing a pre-determined number of post-dated cheques in

favour of the fund. The investor is allotted units on a predetermined date specified in the offer

document at the applicable NAV.

Systematic Withdrawal Plan (SWP):

As opposed to the Systematic Investment Plan, the Systematic Withdrawal Plan allows the investor

the facility to withdraw a pre-determined amount / units from his fund at a pre-determined interval.

The investor's units will be redeemed at the applicable NAV as on that day.

Future of Mutual Funds in India

By December 2004, Indian mutual fund industry reached Rs 1,50,537 crore. It is estimated that by

2010 March-end, the total assets of all scheduled commercial banks should be Rs 40,90,000 crore.

The annual composite rate of growth is expected 13.4% during the rest of the decade. In the last 5

years we have seen annual growth rate of 9%. According to the current growth rate, by year 2010,

mutual fund assets will be double.

GROWTH OF MUTUAL FUNDS IN INDIA

The Indian Mutual Fund has passed through three phases. The first phase was between 1964 and

1987 and the only player was the Unit Trust of India, which had a total asset of Rs. 6,700 crores at

the end of 1988. The second phase is between 1987 and 1993 during which period 8 Funds were

established (6 by banks and one each by LIC and GIC). The total assets under management had

grown to 61,028 crores at the end of 1994 and the number of schemes was 167.

The third phase began with the entry of private and foreign sectors in the Mutual Fund industry in

1993. Kothari Pioneer Mutual Fund was the first Fund to be established by the private sector in

association with a foreign Fund.

As at the end of financial year 2000(31st march) 32 Funds were functioning with Rs. 1, 13,005 crores

as total assets under management. As on august end 2000, there were 33 Funds with 391 schemes

and assets under management with Rs 1, 02,849 crores.

The securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) came out with comprehensive regulation in 1993

which defined the structure of Mutual Fund and Asset Management Companies for the first time.

Several private sectors Mutual Funds were launched in 1993 and 1994. The share of the private


18/23

players has risen rapidly since then.

Currently there are 34 Mutual Fund organizations in India managing 1,02,000 crores.

ANALYSIS OF MUTUAL FUNDS SCHEMES

To study the currently available schemes I have taken the fact sheets available with the AMCs. The

fact sheet provides the historical data about the various schemes offered by the AMC, investment

pattern, dividend history, ratings given, Fund Managers Credentials, etc.

I have analyzed the schemes in the following three categories:

Equity or Growth Scheme

Balanced Scheme

Income or Debt Scheme

I have studied the schemes of the following AMCs

Kotak Mutual Fund

SBI Mutual Fund

Franklin Templeton India Mutual Fund

Principal Mutual fund

Basis for Analysis

Net Asset Value (NAV) is the best parameter on which the performance of a mutual fund can be

studied. We have studied the performance of the NAV based on the compounded annual return of the

Scheme in terms of appreciation of NAV, dividend and bonus issues. WE have compared the Annual

returns of various schemes to get an idea about their relative standings.

VALUATION OF MUTUAL FUND

The net asset value of the Fund is the cumulative market value of the assets Fund net of its liabilities.

In other words, if the Fund is dissolved or liquidated, by selling off all the assets in the Fund, this is

the amount that the shareholders would collectively own. This gives rise to the concept of net asset

value per unit, which is the value, represented by the ownership of one unit in the Fund. It is

calculated simply by dividing the net asset value of the Fund by the number of units. However, most

people refer loosely to the NAV per unit as NAV, ignoring theper unit. We also abide by the same

convention.

Calculation of NAV


19/23

The most important part of the calculation is the valuation of the assets owned by the Fund. Once it is

calculated, the NAV is simply the net value of assets divided by the number of units outstanding. The

detailed methodology for the calculation of the net asset value is given below.

The net asset value is the actual value of a unit on any business day. NAV is the barometer of the

performance of the scheme.

The net asset value is the market value of the assets of the scheme minus its liabilities and expenses.

The per unit NAV is the net asset value of the scheme divided by the number of the units outstanding

on the valuation date.

Equity or Growth Scheme

These schemes, also commonly called Growth Schemes, seek to invest a majority of their funds in

equities and a small portion in money market instruments. Such schemes have the potential to deliver

superior returns over the long term. However, because they invest in equities, these schemes are

exposed to fluctuations in value especially in the short term.

In this equity or growth scheme segment I selected the following schemes in the selected AMCs

Balanced Scheme

The aim of Balanced Funds is to provide both growth and regular income. Such schemes periodically

distribute a part of their earning and invest both in equities and fixed income securities in the

proportion indicated in their offer documents. This proportion affects the risks and the returns

associated with the balanced fund - in case equities are allocated a higher proportion, investors would

be exposed to risks similar to that of the equity market.

Balanced funds with equal allocation to equities and fixed income securities are ideal for investors

looking for a combination of income and moderate growth.

In this balanced fund scheme segment I selected the following schemes in the selected AMCs

SBI Magnum Balance Fund has not been given any rating by CRISIL but it has been performing well.

The investments of the Funds are well diversified in both Equity and Debt. The total Equity Holdings as

on April 30th stands at 67.77% of the total assets. It has out performed CRISIL Balanced Fund Index

by 45.38% for the 52 weeks period.

Principal Balanced Fund has ranked CP3 by CRISAL, which means average in the open-ended balanced


20/23

Fund category and ranks within the top 70% of the 19 schemes in this category. It has invested 67%

in Equity and about 16% in Government Securities. In Equity it invested primarily in Pharmaceuticals,

Construction Materials, Automobiles and banks.

Franklin Templeton India Balanced Fund invested about 70% of its assets in Equity and 75% in Debts.

The recent additions to its portfolio are Reliance Industries, Asian paints and BPCL. It invests primarily

in IT consulting, auto parts equipment, Banks, Tele Electrical industrial conglomerates. It invested

mainly in the AAA rated Debts.

Kotak Balance Fund has invested close to 70% in Equity and about 30% in Debt instruments and

Short Term Deposits. The Fund has a well-diversified portfolio of equity with prime investments in

BHEL, Siemens EID parry, Bulrampur Chini and SBI. In the debt Instruments it has invested in

Railway Bonds and 2003 maturing Government Stock.

SBI Magnum Income Fund is performing very well right from the inception with generous payment of

dividends has been assigned AAA rating by CRISIL. The Fund invests about 90% in AAA rated

securities and more than 60% of its investments have a maturity ranging between 3 to 10 years. I has

come with bonuses in Jan 2003 1:3 and September 2003 1:10. However, it under perform vis--vis

CRISIL Comp. Bond Fund index by 0.14.

Principal Income Fund has ranked CP3 by CRISAL, which means average in the open-ended debt

category and ranks within the top 70% of the 21 schemes in this category. The investments have

average maturity of 7.3 years with more than 50% investments having a maturity of above 7 years. It

has invested close to 50% in Government Securities, above 40% in NCD/Deep Discount Bonds.

Franklin Templeton India Income Fund has most of the investments in low risk AAA and sovereign

securities. Above 45% of the investments are in Gilt, 25% in PSU/PFI bonds and 24% in corporate

Debts. The average maturity of this scheme is at 4.87 years. The performance of the Fund is inline

with CRISIL Composite Bond Fund.

Kotak Liquid Fund has invested about close to 25% in corporate Debt, 10% in public sector

undertakings, about 25% in money market instruments. It has also invested 40% in term deposits.

The average maturity of portfolio is 2.3 years. Almost all the instruments are well rated implying they


21/23

are safe instruments also their investments are highly diversified.

SUGGESTIONS

Four sequential steps will enable investor to decide effectively.

1. Divide the spectrum of Mutual Funds depending on major asset classes invested in.

Presently there are only two.

Equity Funds investing in stocks.

Debt Funds investing in interest paying securities issued by government, semi-government bodies,

public sector units and corporates.

2. a) Categorizing equities

Diversified invest in large capitalized stocks belonging to multiple sectors.

Sectorial Invest in specific sectors like technology, FMCG, Pharma, etc.

b) Categorized Debt.

Gilt Invest only in government securities, long maturity securities with average of 9 to 13 years,

very sensitive to interest rate movement.

Medium Term Debt (Income Funds) Invest in corporate debt, government securities and PSU

bonds. Average maturity is 5 to 7 years.

Short Term Debt Average maturity is 1 year. Interest rate sensitivity is very low with steady

returns.

Liquid Invest in money market, other short term paper, and cash. Highly liquid. Average maturity

is three months.

3. Review Categories

Diversified equity has done very well while sectorial categories have fared poorly in Indian market.

Index Funds have delivered much less compared to actively managed Funds.

Gilt and Income Funds have performed very well during the last three years. They perform best in a

falling interest environment. Since interest rates are now much lower, short term Funds are

preferable.

4. Specific scheme selection

Rankings are based on criteria including past performance, risk and resilience in unfavorable

conditions, stability and investment style of Fund management, cost and service levels. Some

recommended schemes are:


22/23

Diversified equity Zurich Equity, Franklin India Bluechip, Sundaram Growth. These Funds show

good resilience giving positive results.

Gilt Funds DSP Merrill Lynch, Tata GSF, HDFC Gilt have done well.

Income Fund HDFC, Alliance, Escorts and Zurich are top performers

Short Term Funds Pru ICICI, Franklin Templeton are recommended

Within debt class, presently more is allocated towards short term Funds, because of low prevailing

interest rates.

However if interest rates go up investor can allocate more to income Funds or gilt Funds

What is the Present status of mutual fund in India?In:India, Stock Market, Mutual Funds[Edit categories]

[Improve]

Answer

With new SEBI regulations, mutual funds investment is going through sea face changes. However, the

regulations are a welcoming change in making the industry far more transparent to investors. With

scrapping of entry load and other regulations such as mandatory disclosure of dividend as rupees and

not in terms of percentage, new tenure for short term investment, using weighted average price for

valuing all money market and debt securities including floating rate securities, etc has helped in

increasing the trading compatibility. With the economy taking an upward swing again, the stock market

looks promising as before; however the market volatilities need to be valued and speculated for deriving

at any reasonable conclusion. This is undertaken by online stock trading providers. Their professional

and methodological outlook, along with reports, surveys, news updates and tips will give you the latest

insider reviews into mutual fund investment.
